This cabin is the perfect setup for a group of riders that want to ride and enjoy the scenic roadways while maintaining a comfortable home base. All of the necessities are provided other then food and drink. More than enough space for large groups or families to be comfortable. I would highly recommend it and plan to return soon. Thanks.

This is a great place to stay with all of comforts of home. Great for families. Even better for Bikers. There is eleven beds if my memory serves me correct, so when you have a bunch of single guys that prefer not to sleep with each other, this place is perfect. The front screened in porch is huge. There are plenty of baths. The place is easy to find.

Only draw back if any, is the beer store is 70 miles away. No problem if you want to enjoy nice scenic drives or rides.

Great house for a large number of people wanting to stay under one roof. Cossatot River is a short drive to get to, with rock hiking and jumping into the river.

What a wonderful house! My family and friends had a great time. Just like home! Watching the airplane takeoff was super cool! The owner was very nice and accommodating.
